A stabilisation system (10) for stabilising a submarine pipeline (11) supported on a seabed (13) below water level. The seabed (13) is inclined in that it incorporates a sloping section (15) extending between an upper section (16) and a lower section (17). The stabilisation system (10) comprises an upper anchoring means (21) for anchoring the pipeline (11) to the upper seabed section (16) adjacent the top end of the sloping section (15) and the other being a lower anchoring means (22) for anchoring the pipeline (11) to the lower seabed section (17) adjacent the bottom end of the sloping seabed section (15). Buoyancy means (23) are provided along the extent of the pipeline section (11a) between the two anchoring means (21, 22). The buoyancy provided by the buoyancy means (23) is sufficient to maintain the pipe section (11a) above and out of contact with the sloping seabed section (15).
